I am in the bus. That is if you are inside .

Its possible to be on the bus for example Red coloured London buses with overhead sits on top of the roof.
If you are sitting on the roof of such a bus,then you can now say 'I am on the bus'

You see English eeeh
We no dey follow the same part.
Is not straight forward.
This is how they said that " give her her book" is correct but to say, "give him him book" is incorrect
English! NAH. I no like am. There is no short cut to it. When u think u 've figured it out, that's where it's ambiguity starts.
Unlike mathematics or any science related subject, u can even invent ur own trick/formula and arrive at the answer.

answered!

abbeyty:
on the bus is the correct answer but you cant say you are on the car. In the bus naija English, on the bus proper Emglish

for modes of transport, the use of "in" comes in play if it don't allow for easy movement. So using "on a car" would be inappropriate. "On" is used when the mode of transport allows for easy movements such as train, airplane, ship, etc.

chukwunedum150:
The phrase 'on the bus' is
quite standard and normal. It
is much more commonly
used than 'in the bus'. The
use of 'on' does NOT imply
that the person is on the roof. Basically, if the
speaker is taking a long trip
by bus, that person is said to
be 'on the bus' during the
entire trip. When a person is
boarding a bus, we'd typically say the person is
getting 'on' a bus. (And at the end of the trip, it would
also be quite normal to say
that person is getting 'off' the bus.) The use of 'in the bus' is not
completely wrong, but it
would be limited to special
situations in which it is
essential to convey the idea
of 'inside' or 'within' explicitly. Basically, we use 'on' when
referring to general location
when using certain means of
transportation. For example: - He's on a bus/plane/train/ boat/motorcycle. BUT: - He's in a car/taxi.

Finally something helpful

English wahala too much.

Birniwa:
Unfortunately none of the replies above is correct, there's actually an English rule for this. When a vehicle has an ample space that can allow you to walk; like a train or bus; you use on because you're actually walking on the space to get to your seat.

For a vehicle like car where we don't get a space to walk or stand up, we use in because we're actually sitting in our seat.

I hope this helps.

hmmm oga....bus diff from bus o...what of molue.....ample space dey that bulk of metal......and na bus too oo...........

ProsperChild:
Hello? lemme know

well gramatically both are correct. but while the first is "first person singular" the second is the "second person plural. do not also forget that "the" is definite article. now it depends on the conversation or question you are responding to. eg
1) where are you? i'm on the bus (ie; towards the location of the questioneer)
2) (on phone) i can't hear you well, i'm in a bus
3 (panel beater) i'm on the bus (as in working right on top of the bus. your statement appears to be an incomplete sentence. alternatively you can go with i'm on the/my way

somez:
Noooo...

You are 'On' the bus when the bus is on the road moving.

You are 'In' the bus when it's yet to move.

Whobedatte:

somez:
Noooo...

You are 'On' the bus when the bus is on the road moving.

You are 'In' the bus when it's yet to move.

My dear you can't be on the Bus except you are hanging on the Bus.once your inside the Bus it becomes in the Bus. you can't not be in the Bus and be saying on the Bus please it's disgusting.

it's also disgusting to say "can't not"

I am from the bus

The correct one is " I am on a bus" this is so because the bus is a public transport that carries a lot of people to their respective destinations. U can only use "in the bus" if the bus is your personal vehicle. And u can say "on the bus" when the public bus is specific and " on a bus" when the public bus is not specific.
